Apartment envy

I must be going through a phase - finding myself drawn to some more traditional elements than usual and lighter, neutral colors too. This lovely apartment is in the Marais district of Paris. All photos courtesy of Haven In Paris.

It's a bit grand - and charming too Can't get over this pillow - a pom-pom extravaganza!

You never know what will catch your eye...or why or when. What have you found yourself noticing now that you didn't much before? (photos courtesy of www.HaveninParis.com)

Beautiful. Like you I also have pom pom envy. What a great pillow. My favorite part of the apt is the great use of framed art above the headboard in the bedroom. Love it. Plus it doesn't hurt that it's located in Paris.

My word! This apartment is stunning! What wonderful light. That massive gilt console mirror will always have a second home in my house, if needed. And I too, love the way the framed art is arrayed. Wonderful stuff.

Such wonderfully propotioned rooms are a good basis for achieving the "wow" factor, and this is borne out by the simple use of elegant and classical pieces of furniture, and a very uncluttered and understated look. Exquisite!
